“The Financial Services Committee has been working to better understand the supervision and health of all sectors of the financial services industry. Presently, there is a lack of clarity about where one regulator’s jurisdiction ends and another’s begins,” said Chairman Kanjorski. “This educational hearing will help Members and the public learn about how federal and state regulators interact when dealing with insurers and insurance holding companies. I look forward to an explanation of what the authority of each regulator presently is and how much interaction and cooperation actually takes place among them. Our witnesses can help us to discern the ways to better improve supervision of this sector of our financial markets.”

- Mr. Jon Greenlee, Associate Director, Division of Banking Supervision and Regulation, Federal Reserve Board of Governors
